    Can I get pregnant ?

    We have sex wear nothing on . He wears condom only when he feels the time coming soon for him. Can I get pregnant this way? Can women find over the counter female condoms, same as men can buy ?

    There is a big debate regarding can you get pregnant from pre-cum. I am on the YES, YOU CAN side of this argument.

    So, yes, you can get pregnant that way. If you don't want to get pregnant, wear a condom. Yes, there are female condoms that you can buy, I've seen them at drugstores like Walgreens or CVS.

      Protect YOURSELF. Take no one elses word for it. Its your body, your life, and if you get pregnant it will be your future, for the rest of your life. Never depend on a man to make the protection decision for you. Make SURE he puts on that condom before intercourse. Period.

        Yes, you can get pregnant. I got pregnant even when we were practicing withdrawal and were avoiding having sex when I ovulate (I can tell). There are thousands of sperm in pre-cum and it only takes one to do the job. Also, the sperm can live up to 4 days into of you.

          You can definitely get pregnant this way. Your body wants to get pregnant, and by not using protection throughout the entire encounter, you are gambling. If that were a great option, everyone would be doing it. Many women, as you can see here, will tell you they've tried the same thing and unfortunately not everyone can say it worked for them. There's evidence to suggest that a man's hormones can make a woman to ovulate spontaneously. Meaning, even if you are not suppose to ovulate for a couple more days, your body may suddenly begin early. As sp346 said, "it only takes one...". The female condom is a good option if he doesn't want to use male condoms. Since he is pulling out or putting on a condom after commencing, you can also try using vaginal contraceptives like spermicides, jellies, the sponge, etc before hand. You will enjoy it a lot better knowing you are protected.
